Sanak Retreat Bali: "Amazing"
"Out of many places of wonderful Bali this is my personally all time favorite. We arrived to our bungalow at a magical moment while the sun was setting, extraordinary view over the rice-field and the valley. The spa is wonderful, you can get a massage in a open massage room surrounded by rice field. The food was ok but overpriced, would not recommend to eat there often. We walked up to the village above and had a wonderful time. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a Balinese stile and you can buy the art from the walls, we found out it was cheaper to buy it there than at the Seminiak market."SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Great evening"
I was there with friends the service was on top very nice atmosphere the foods is delicious, I surprise with the complimentary appetizer and the sweet at the end , I will go back there again :)The Village House: "Relaxing and Beautiful, Great Food and Friendly Staff"
Our experience at Village House was excellent. The guesthouse has been carefully planned and attention paid to every detail. It is very beautiful and comfortable. The food here was way above expectations - delicious and fresh and a great mix of local as well as western food. Surprisingly they had a very good selection of wines. We did try the Pina Colodas by Miss Flora (we had read about them on Trip Advisor) and yes, she does a great job! But the highlight of the trip was the sweet and accomodating staff. They did everything possible to make our stay as relaxing and stress free as possible. My family and I would like to thank them all. You should not miss the chance to stay at Village House!Inle Princess Resort: "Best on the lake"
From the minute the engine on the boat turns off and the driver starts to paddle into the inlet towards the hotel you know this is good. Magical setting - good bar and restaurant, wonderful staff, great spa treatments, lots of activities can be arranged. Nothing is too much trouble.Supanniga Eating Room: "Excellent food"
We sat comfortably upstairs and enjoyed a gorgeous, colorful, authentic Thai meal. Traditional cooking and attentive service. This is not fast/ street food... It's the real thing!Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "The Highlight of our SL trip"
"We are 3 couples, 2 expats and 1 couple first time Australians to SL on a 21 day round trip. This is the 2nd time that I have used the 3day/2 night safari option. the 1st being in 2012 when the camp was actually located inside the park. To demonstrate the importance of this incredible experience, I should mention that the whole trip was based around the availability at the camp and to ensure that it did not coincide with a local holiday when hordes of holiday makers descend on the park. Well enough of the preamble, just how am I going to describe the most fantastic and memorable event? Every aspect of the safari is well planned and executed with precision. The service from all the staff is impeccable, the food absolutely delicious, varied and plentiful, The knowledge of our guides Delanka and Noel himself are unsurpassed and we saw every animal type in the park including 2 sightings of a Leopard mother and her 3 9 month old cubs. Of course these sightings can't be guaranteed but your chances are immensely improved if you put your faith in such a proven outfit. Noel Rodrigo's Leopard Safaris is an organization committed to preserving, sustaining and improving the natural environment that they and others operate in and you can only hope that they succeed as there are many obstacles to be overcome. I encourage anybody who is contemplating visiting Yala to use this organization. I am hopeful of returning in 2 years time with a much larger group and will certainly be using their services again."Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Lovely hotel and fantastic young staff"
You would be surprised to find that this a training school for young people, funded by the owner of the other luxury hotel Inle Princess Resort. The hotel is nicely appointed and built as stilt houses on water. There are only a few rooms so it is very private and exclusive. The young staff are well trained and helpful so service is on par with any luxury hotel. Food is great. Highlight of the day for us was having a beer at the bar and watched the sun set. Out of this world.Manda De Laos: "The mother off them all"
"Manda means mother in Lao. And Manda de Laos beats all (so called) fancy restaurants in LP. The scenery is romantic and beautiful. Then the service, so friendly and easygoing. I love the effort every staff member takes to please you. Oh yeah, and there was food as well. We had the Manda de Laos menu (3 courses with a lot of different dishes) to have a flight through the menu. From the first to the last bite I can say that we've enjoyed every bit! Don't complain it's expensive or something in that range. You made the choice to eat here so you know the prices. If not make sure you're well informed. To give you a heads up we've paid 965.000 kip/$118,- for the menu and two cocktails. Which is comparable to European prices. If you're up for a romantic evening (or lunch) with your significant other this is the place to be in LP."MesaStila: "One night stay, beautiful srroundings, will return"
"The resort is set in beautifully landscaped grounds with views of volcanoes in every direction. They also have a small coffee plantation onsite and the coffee itself is only available in the hotel. Rooms were huge and nicely fitted out. Would loved to have stayed longer, but was following a tight itinerary through central and eastern Java. Will return for sure. "Sea Dance Resort: "Peaceful paradise"
Our cottage with pool looked out over the sea, yet remained private. The resort pool was welcoming -how nice to have a poolside cocktail. Breakfast was a feast of fruit, patries & omlette of your choice plus endless coffee. The highlight of our stay was the seafood BBQ on the beach, with live music, under the full moon. Perfect. By the end of our week we had tasted everything on the Thai food menu & it was sooo good. Sure the beach is rocky, but still accessible to use the kayak & paddle board. The quiet location, food & hospitality make Seadance the perfect holiday spot for all.
